Abstract: The present invention relates to: a laryngoscopy system including a laryngoscope body and an image display module; an image display module for a laryngoscopy system; and a kit including an image display module and at least one laryngoscope body. The laryngoscope body has a handle portion and a blade portion, the blade portion having a distal end and a handle connection end and a blade body extending therebetween. The laryngoscope body further comprises an imaging component disposed on or housed by the blade portion. The image display module is configured to receive image data from the imaging component, and includes an accelerometer for motion input control of the image display module.

Abstract: A stylet is disclosed for insertion into an endotracheal tube for guiding the tube during intubation. The stylet has a body (3) with a pivotable tip portion (5) at its distal end which is movable in either of two opposing directions away from the axis of the stylet. The tip portion (5) may carry an image acquisition device for video imaging. A control mechanism for controlling the pivot angle of the pivotable tip has a hand-operated actuator (7) at the proximal end of the stylet and flexible control wires (23) extending down the stylet to connect the actuator to the pivotable tip portion (5). Also disclosed is an endotracheal tube (100) usable with the stylet and having a bending portion (103), defined by a concertina or thinned portion, at its distal end to facilitate bending of its tip portion (104) by the stylet tip portion (5).

Abstract: A nasal respiratory mask for a high flow oxygen therapy apparatus, comprising: a mask frame; and a mask cushion on the mask frame for contacting and substantially sealing against a face of a patient, the mask frame and mask cushion defining a nasal breathing cavity, wherein the mask frame comprises: a hose attachment portion for attaching a hose for delivering a supply of oxygen enriched air to the patient; and a mask aperture for restricting the flow of gas from the nasal breathing cavity directly to ambient, wherein the mask aperture maintains a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the nasal breathing cavity of between 0.2 kPa and 1 kPa during the administering of high flow oxygen therapy to the patient.

Abstract: A nasal respiratory mask for a high flow oxygen therapy apparatus, comprising: a mask frame; and a mask cushion on the mask frame for contacting and substantially sealing against a face of a user, the mask frame and mask cushion defining a nasal breathing cavity, wherein the mask frame comprises: a hose attachment portion for attaching a hose for delivering a supply of oxygen enriched air to the user; and at least one of: i. a passive one-way valve configured to move from a closed position in which air is restricted from flowing through the one-way valve, to an open position in which air can flow from the nasal breathing cavity through the one-way valve to outside the mask, wherein the one-way valve has a valve opening pressure of between 0.2 kPa and 1 kPa, ii.

Abstract: A nasal cannula configured to deliver airflow to a user, comprising: a manifold; a connector for attaching a gas tube to the manifold; a pair of non-sealing nasal prongs extending from the manifold for delivering a supply of gas to a user via the gas tube; wherein the connector is configured to form a swivel connection with the manifold so as to provide relative rotation between the manifold and the gas tube.

Abstract: Devices and methods for resuscitation of a patient wherein inspiratory gas is delivered through a T piece circuit having an exhalation port and a filter located upstream of the exhalation port to remove microbes from exhaled respiratory gas before the respiratory gas exits through the exhalation port.

Abstract: The disclosure herein provides system, methods, and devices for collection of fluids, for example, bodily fluid and other fluids. An aspiration and fluid collection device for collecting bodily fluid and other fluids comprises a cap which may be mounted on a compressible resilient body comprising a cavity for storage of collected bodily fluid and other fluids. The cap comprises an inlet port comprising a first one-way valve positioned to enable bodily fluid and other fluids to flow into the cavity through the inlet port, but not out of the cavity through the inlet port; and an outlet port comprising a gas permeable but liquid resistant membrane positioned to enable gas to be expelled from the cavity through the outlet port, but to resist bodily fluid and other fluids being expelled from the cavity through the outlet port. The outlet port further comprises a second one-way valve positioned to enable gas to be expelled from the cavity through the outlet port, but not into the cavity through the outlet port.
